Answer:

7.85sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

s(t)=16t squared​, where t is time in seconds. The height of a certain tower is 986 feet.

s(t) = 16t²

so when s = 986feet

16t² = 986 feet

t² = 986 /  16

t² = 61.625

t = √61.625

t= 7.85 seconds

Answer: t = 7.85seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Height of tower = 986 Feets

Function s(t) = 16t^2

To find the time t 8 in Seconds taken for an object to fall to the ground from the top of the​ building

16t^2 = 986

t^2 = 986/16

t ^2 = 61.625

Take the square root of both sides

t = sqrt(61.625)

t = 7.85seconds

Driving on the highway, you can safely drive 60 miles per hour. "How far can you drive in ‘h' hours?" What is the range of the f
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

D.The distance you drive

Step-by-step explanation:

If you describe this situation as function, then it will look as:

  • f(h)= 60h
  • For h=1 you have f(1)= 60 miles
  • For h=2 you have f(2)= 120 miles etc.

The range of the function is the set of output values

In this case the range is the distance you drive

Correct option is D.

Three high school basketball teams measured the heights of all of their basketball players: The Derby Dragons have a mean height
sweet [91]

Answer:

The Ballwin Bears are taller on average, and the Aviston Aces have players whose heights are more consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

for derby dragon;

mean height = 72 inches

standard deviation = 1.2 inches

for aviston aces:

mean height = 70.8

standard deviation = 0.7 inches

for balwin bears;

mean height = 73 inches

standard deviation = 1.0 inches

the mean height of aviston aces < mean height of derby < mean height of balwin bears

So on average the balwin bears are taller.

The standard deviation of derby dragon is > that of balwin bears > aviston aces.

So the more consistent height is that of aviston aces players.

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and slope-intercept form.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

slope-inercept form: y = 3x + 3        point-slope form: y - 9 = 3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1        

9 - (-6)/ 2 - (-3)      

= 3

y = 3x + b

9 = 3(2) + b

9 = 6 + b

3 = b

y = 3x + 3

point-slope form:

y - 9 = 3(x - 2)
